Ferrari is preparing to reveal its first electric vehicle (EV), expected to take on the Porsche Taycan and Tesla Model S.
Due to be revealed in 2025, not much is known about Ferrari’s EV, other than it’s expected to account for five per cent of the marque’s annual sales by 2026.

Though its body panels are well hidden, the overall shape appears to be that of a hatchback or at very least a shooting brake, with its four doors putting it into an exclusive club – along with the Purosangue – as being the only Ferrari with more than two entrances.

A set of crudely attached exhaust tips are intended to deceive, though it’s clear this is an electric vehicle due to the number of high-voltage warning labels across its body.
Unfortunately there have been no details announced about Ferrari’s EV, though representatives of the brand recently told CarExpert it’ll stay true to the brand’s values.
“Driving thrills are the most important thing within our portfolio and we measure driving thrills in two ways,” said Emanuele Carando, Ferrari’s global marketing director.
“The easiest way is the smile the clients have whenever they drive our car and get out of the car. [This is] the best indication of how fun it is to drive the car.
“But there is a more scientific approach which is longitudinal acceleration, lateral acceleration, braking, gear shifting and sound. Those five elements are the most important elements we evaluate and we build together to develop our cars.
“All our cars are different – [we have] different cars for different Ferraristi and for different moments.
“The new electric vehicle will deliver different emotions versus the SF90, versus the Purosangue, versus the Roma or versus the 12Cilindri.”
A Tesla Model S Plaid was spied leaving the Maranello factory in February, with rumours suggesting the 761kW electric sedan was being used to benchmark the Ferrari EV.
